Her opinion piece, titled With training and love, they are devoted pets, is directed at those who fear pit bull terriers. She argues that the restrictions on pit bull terriers are both unnecessary and unfair. Pelen uses emotive language and imagery to tug at the reader’s heart strings and convince them of the dangers posed by pit bull terriers. She uses phrases such as ‘tragic death’, ‘senseless and needless’ and ‘viciously attacked’ to help the reader to visualise the attack. She uses an anecdote detailing a dog attack on her own family to establish her credibility and knowledge of the issue.
The use of the dogs begins the evil use of force, which helps Napoleon maintain power. Later, the dogs do even more immoral things when they are instructed to kill the animals labeled “disloyal.” Stalin, too, had his own special force of “helpers.”Really there are followers loyal to any politician or government leader, but Stalin in particular needed a special police force to eliminate his opponents. This is how Trotsky was killed. Like Stalin using his secret police force to
The use of dogs in the opening chapter of the novel, further suggests that dogs will be important figures in the novel. Linking in to Heathcliff’s “savage” qualities in the novel (which are hugely linked to dogs) is his treatment of Isabella Linton’s springer, Fanny. Heathcliff uses a handkerchief to hang the dog by his neck on a bridle hook. The condition, in which Nelly finds Isabella’s dog, is a metaphor for Isabella’s situation in her relationship with Heathcliff; her physical maladies represent the restrictive nature that her marriage with Heathcliff will possess, like the dog who’s suffering results from the hanging. Aside from the suffering, the dog’s physical restrictions are also a representation of the new boundaries that Heathcliff presents to her life.
(Gladwell 50) Turley goes on to tell us about the multiple big hits he ad been involved in on the football field. After such hits, he would go cross-eyed, get blurry vision, and in one particular case he was knocked unconscious. He described the night he passed out in Nashville as the exact same feeling as being knocked unconscious on the football field. In the next section, Michael Vick is talked about for pleading guilty for his involvement in dogfighting and an extremely graphic description of what dogfights are like is explained in “The Social Milieu Of Dogmen and Dogfights” an article written by sociologists Rhonda Evans and Craig Forsyth. Two dogs are placed in a pit and forced to fight one another, most of the time to the death.
Lauren Cain Mr. Folven English IV H Pd.2 15 November 2011 Greyhound Racing: Born to Run? Hello class, today I would like to talk to you about the horrific world of greyhound racing. Around the world animals are abused every day. Law enforcement takes in animals from abusive homes, fighting pits, and laboratories. So you may ask why we don’t just ban greyhound racing all together?
The quote, “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely,” by Lord Acton is demonstrated in Animal Farm perfectly, and concisely as the characters, plot, and themes show how power can absolutely corrupt. Orwell uses animals to represent humans. Through this he demonstrates the corruption of humans. The animals mimic humans, including the flaws, which show the extremity of human corruption. As each animal has an opportunity to seie power each uses it for good and bad.
By far, the most common breeds focused upon are the pit bull type breeds. BSL relies on the premise that all dogs of a certain breed are vicious by their very nature. BSL might require an additional registration fee for certain breeds of dogs, requires the dogs to be muzzled in public, or completely forbids the keeping of those dogs. Breed-specific legislation applies only to dogs of a certain appearance, not to any and all dogs. It does not take into account how the owner has raised, trained, or managed the dog.
First of all, from a moral perspective, animal experimentation is so cruel that it should be stopped. In order to access interests, people keep ignoring the miserable situation of laboratorial animals. It is necessary for us to know the truth. Animals are routinely cut open, poisoned, and forced to live in barren steel cages for years. As far as I know, much of the experimentations include pumping chemicals into rats' stomachs, hacking muscle tissue from dogs' legs.
The Modern Day Gladiators by Raymond A. Benavidez 2 Oct 2013 "The dogs clashed like a steam train hitting a wall. You can hear it, you can hear the bone crunching," a scene relived by 'Steve', a undercover investigator for Panorama, " the heavier the dog, the more the crush." 'Steve' was approached by the BBC to infiltrate a dog-fighting ring in the United Kingdom. Dog fighting as defined by uslegal.com, is an illegal practice in which two dogs, usually of the Pit Bull breed, are put into an enclosed area for the purpose of attacking and quite frequently, killing each other ("Dog Fighting Law"). Spectators bet on which dog will win.
On fur farms where animals are raised for the purpose of using their fur for clothing; they are placed in filthy, overcrowded wire cages until they are sooner or later killed for their fur. Fur is one of the many pieces of clothing that has been worn for centuries and in recent times has become a symbol of wealth except between the early eighties and late nineties when wearing fur resembled crime, and those who wore it risked being abused on the street. In 1994 supermodels like Naomi Campbell campaigned against the use of fur and as they had achieved celebrity grades, had others queuing up to join the anti-fur protests aswell. Many of these models have gone back to promoting fur though as the fur industry is thriving and designers are tending to ignore the activists and slogans like ‘It takes 40 dumb animals to make a fur coat... but only one to wear it’. More than 50 million animals will be killed for their fur this year, most of which will have spent their short lives in miserable conditions on fur farms before they are killed.
